The double-killing of the Celtics has brought the morale of the Trail Blazers to the peak of the season. The fans of Portland are full of confidence. The media in the Portland sports industry believe that this will be the best time for the Trail Blazers to compete for the championship after 1977.

Many people in the Portland Trail Blazers also think so. Their boss Weinberg confessed in an interview after the game that the goal of the Trail Blazers this season is to win the championship.

Although no matter what team, the season's goal will be basically set as the championship, the same goes for those who say it and who really think it is like this, and those who are discerning people can still see it.

The entire West, since the Lakers selected the Magic in 1979 and won Worthy in 1982, basically entered the reign of the Purple and Gold Dynasty, and other teams did not pose much threat to the Lakers.

As long as the Lakers don't make trouble themselves - for example, in 1981, the Magician and the head coach had a conflict, resulting in the team being eliminated in the first round, the Lakers rarely faced resistance in the Western Conference playoffs, and their opponents generally surrendered early, and then in the finals, the team was kept by the heroes in the East after a bloody battle - the team started with the 76ers, but now they have become Celtics.

From 1980 to 1985, the Lakers' five finals trips, the most difficult round of the West was the 4-2 defeat of the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals in 1983. That year, Worthy missed the playoffs due to injury, which reduced the Lakers' strength. In addition, the combination of Spurs Jill Moore and Gervin caused a lot of trouble to the Lakers.

In addition, it will be found that in the Western Conference playoffs, the Lakers have never played tiebreak with their opponents in one round, and all solved the problem within six games, which is enough to show their overall strength.

Even though Gan Guoyang came to this time and space, he was easily taken away by the Lakers 4:1 last season. The Lakers in the regular season and playoffs are all heavyweights.

This season, the Portlanders are finally confident to compete with the Lakers. They are preparing to overthrow the Lakers' dominance this season and open a new era in the West.

It is too early to achieve this at present. At least two people in the Trail Blazers are very calm. One is Ramsey. He has confirmed that this season will be his last season with the Trail Blazers, so his desire to win a championship is unprecedentedly strong. However, he still believes that the Trail Blazers are still difficult to compare with the Lakers. Even though the Lakers are not in a particularly good condition this season, they still maintain strong dominance.

"The Lakers' balance is difficult for the current Trail Blazers to reach. We may not be inferior to the Lakers in one or two aspects, but overall, only the Celtics in the league are qualified to challenge the Lakers." This is what Ramsey said in the face of the media after the double-killing Celtics.

Some people may think this is a coach's humility, but this is Ramsey's true thoughts. The road to championship is much more difficult than that of ordinary people. Even if the Magic wins the MVP in the finals in the rookie season, Jabbar and the Lakers have experienced countless difficulties and setbacks before.

Another person who keeps calm is Gan Guoyang. He has seen a lot of the history of winning championships in various teams in later generations and knows how difficult it is for a team to grow from nothing to something, until they win the championship.

Perhaps some teams can reach the top in one step, such as the Celtics in 2008, but that championship is a result of the Celtics' blood and tears history and the sadness of two superstars for many years without a championship. It is not a simple grouping to explain.

Moreover, Gan Guoyang still clearly remembers that in the prediction of the blind Chris, the champion of this season will be the Houston Rockets. Gan Guoyang can't imagine why if he dies, the Houston Rockets will win the championship.

Anyway, the Rockets will surely achieve something this season. This is something that Gan Guoyang can confirm. They will definitely cause big trouble on the road ahead of the Blazers, and it is not impossible to kick the Blazers away.

In this situation where external optimism, internal morale is high, and there is also calm thinking, the Trail Blazers' game this season has begun to come to an end.

At the end of February, the last part of the Trail Blazers’ Devil schedule, and it is also the last darkness before dawn. They are going to the Central and Eastern regions to start their away journey.

The first opponent is the Atlanta Hawks. The good news for the Trail Blazers is that Dominic Wilkins missed the game due to injury, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Trail Blazers' forward defense; the bad news is that Gan Guoyang, who just got a triple-double in the last game, also missed the game due to a cold. The Hawks' short-armed Hawk Willis finally no longer has to be abused by Gan Guoyang on the court.

The absence of the two major stars on both sides undoubtedly greatly reduced the highlights of the game, and the suspense of the game also increased. Ramsey did not let Jones replace Gan Guoyang to start, but let Jerome Cosi play a small forward and Van dervic play a power forward.

At the same time, Valentine still did not return on the back line, Ramsey did not let Cort continue to start, and he began to experiment with the effect of Terry Porter's starting lineup. After all, Porter's figure advantage is more obvious and his talent is better than Cort.

So this game has become a big offensive battle. The Trail Blazers fully utilized their characteristics of a small lineup and launched a quick counterattack regardless of everything, and for this they also lost a lot of frontcourt rebounds.

Compared to the Hawks, they played mediocrely, and they played at every point. The two sides were stalemate until the end. The Trail Blazers relied on a 11-0 offensive shock wave to completely establish an advantage and won the game.

However, the Trail Blazers were not so lucky in the following game. Gan Guoyang suffered from flu, and although he insisted on playing, Ramsey still put him on the injury observation list. There was no need to take risks at this time.

So on February 19, the Trail Blazers arrived in Philadelphia and challenged 76ers in the Spectrum Arena.

In this game, Ramsey didn't dare to put Mitchell Sampson in the center position and let Van dervic play power forward. Facing the inside combination of Moses Malone and Charles Barkley, he obediently pushed veteran Jones to the starting center position.

Unfortunately, this did not have much impact on the results of the game. The Trail Blazers performed very well on the offensive end and had a sharp tactic. However, without Gan Guoyang on the defensive end, they found that the pillars of the entire defensive system were suddenly withdrawn and the system collapsed. Bellman designed the team and the well-functioning defensive formation recently was completely destroyed by Moses Malone and Charles Barkley.

The two insiders scored 69 points and 27 rebounds in total, including 32 free throws and 26 free throws. The Trail Blazers had no choice but to do anything about them.

To make matters worse, veteran Bob McAdu, who recently joined the 76ers, also ate dumplings on the Trail Blazers, making a substitute with 20 points and 6 rebounds, and three inside players scored 89 points.

The final score was a terrible 151:137, and the 151 points of the 76ers also set a single-game scoring record this season, or a scoring record in the absence of overtime.

After the Trail Blazers double-killed the Celtics, they actually suffered another season double-killed by the 76ers, which made Gan Guoyang furious. Unfortunately, the Trail Blazers no longer have the chance to compete with the 76ers this season, unless the two sides can meet in the finals.

After losing the big score, Gan Guoyang returned to the front line, and the entire Trail Blazers also regained their energy and returned all the abuse they suffered during the game against the 76ers to their opponents behind - the Chicago Bulls without Jordan.

Since Jordan's season reimbursement, the Bulls have not given up on themselves. On the contrary, the remaining players played well under the leadership of coach Albeck, and several talented young players have grown very quickly.

Like Wallridge, who also participated in last year's dunk contest, filled the scoring loophole after losing Jordan in the backcourt, averaged 20 points per game, reaching the peak of five seasons.

Charles Oakley also became the Bulls' starting power forward, and began to show his talent in defense and rebounding. He will definitely be an excellent blue-collar power forward in the future.

But when encountering Gan Guoyang who is full of desire to vent, Oakley is also destined to become cannon fodder. In this game, he was beaten by Gan Guoyang to leave the game and scored only 10 points and 7 rebounds. Gan Guoyang used his outstanding performance of 34 points and 22 rebounds to plunder a victory at the Bulls at home.

Michael Jordan, who sat on the sidelines to watch the game after the game, also stepped forward and told Gan Guoyang to be careful next time, while Gan Guoyang said he was waiting for the crowd.

Of course, Gan Guoyang doesn't know what kind of revenge will be like Jordan against the Trail Blazers next time. (PS: On January 8, 1987, Michael Jordan scored 53 points in his home game against the Trail Blazers.)

This is not the end. Gan Guoyang, who won a victory on the Bulls' head, was completely unsatisfied. For the last back-to-back in February, the Trail Blazers came to Detroit from Chicago.

It has been nearly a year since Gan Guoyang was suspended from the last time he punched Lan Bill here. Gan Guoyang's disgust for the Pistons and Lan Bill has not diminished at all.

Although on the surface, Ranbir and the Pistons are not as rough as the legendary ones, until this season, the Pistons were still a team that focuses on offense.

But players who have played with the Pistons know that they should always be careful about the small movements of Ranbir and the power forward Rick Malone who just arrived at the Pistons. These two guys are really old-fashioned. If you are not careful, you will suffer their secret losses.

Players have private communication in the league, and teams will also transfer, and players will evaluate each other's style of play. They have good reputations like Jordan, Gan Guoyang, and Bird. They play cleanly but not weakly (compared to being particularly unclear). Some people like Stockton have begun to realize that this guy has many small moves playing, but after all, Stockton is not famous enough now.

Lan Bill and Ma Hong were "open and honest", and looked like "I just had a lot of small moves, so if you don't accept it, come and beat me." In order to provoke their opponents, Gan Guoyang was fooled like this when he was rookie.
